Hell could be

 

Hell could be a ‘burning place,’

where the very very bad go to in an ‘eternal holly disgrace.’

Where you just forever die and go to waste.

But I don’t think so,

personally I don’t think there is such a place!

 

Some say that hell is eternal fire and damnation, /

a forever painful exasperation,

expelled from all of gods magnificent creation.

But I don’t think there is such a place!

No I don’t think so!

 

 Others say that hell is simply a living without ‘love.’

Where the order of the day is to push and shove.

Eternally in misery below, expelled from above.

But this neither exists.

No I don’t think so!!!

 

Some think of hell as ‘eternal hate,’

where human being exist in an ‘eternal longing wait,’

stuck there like worms hooked for bate.

But I don’t think,

no I don’t think there is such a place.

 

And so I hope and prey that you don’t either.

But in my heart I know that ‘dreams do come true.’

But I don’t’ dream of such things as “hell.”

No I don’t’ believe in such things like hell.

For I don’t’ think there is such a place as “hell.”

 

But if you do, if you really really do, then I suppose!

hell may exist for you,

That is, if you ‘wish’ it to.

But I can tell you that even in this case,

it won’t last forever.

In this you must be kidding yourself!!!

Hell doesn’t last forever.
